What if I talk too much? / I don’t want to dominate conversation.

You can’t. Not in my courses. Never feel like you should censor yourself in my courses.

It’s the professor’s job to manage student contributions in a way that allows the most students possible the chance to express themselves—so let me handle that part and let your ideas fly.  (I’ll conduct the orchestra; you focus on playing your instrument as best as you can.)

Feel free to interrupt me.  Err on the side of talking too much and I’ll approach you with adjustments where necessary.

Because your ideas are really, really important.  See here for more.
